The Internal Singularity The silver nanoweave holds me tight... shimmering like a second skin. But the crushing weight isn't coming from the machine. It’s inside. I look down at my chest... and there is no flesh left. No ribs. No heartbeat. Only a collapse. A dark... swirling... singularity. The air in the pod bends around me. The light itself is warping... pulled uncontrollably into the hollow where my soul used to be. I see my fear—those thin, fractured arcs of violet lightning—trying to break free. But they don't flare out. They are dragged back in. Violently sucked into the crushing gravity of this... bottomless despair. Nothing escapes. Not the light. Not the scream. Not me.

The Waiting Lounge Flowers
The Waiting Lounge Flowers Poem
The waiting lounge is a place of human transition, where strangers weave a tapestry of silent experiences. People occupy seats, orchestrating a symphony of hushed conversations and restless energy. The air is full of anticipation, and a semblance of camaraderie ignites the room. While some are lost in digital worlds, others watch planes on the tarmac. Amidst the restless hum, some seek solace in nervous taps upon their thighs. A young couple shares whispers of love and delicate secrets. An elderly man turns time-worn pages, escaping into another world. The collective yearning within is veiled by the dance of coffee and perfume. Spontaneous children's laughter bounces between rows of chairs, filling the space with memory echoes of want. A businessman's urgency is etched upon his face as his fingers dance within his keys. Fleeting connections, forgotten glances, and stories that interlace and entwine. Blossoming possibilities sprout within these transient walls like delicate flowers. Departure looms, and the lounge pulses with energy, a portrait of imminent dispersal. Strangers bound by purpose, threads of destiny intertwine. Conversations are canvases and whispered brushstrokes paint the air. Eyes are portals to distant skies, yearning for wings that will soon take flight. Nervous rhythms and whispered rhymes form a symphony of unspoken desires. Fragments of stories are whispered between sips of bitter coffee and sweet perfumes. Nervous laughter cascades like an inconvenient rain, trying to wash away the burdens of waiting. In this transient space, transitions unfurl, and the lounge becomes a confined meeting place of souls.

Scene 1 In the cradle of copper veins, where the first byte flickered like a eucalyptus firefly against the millennial dusk of 2000, threads uncoiled—raw and unbidden, a post-punk snarl weaving through the static hum of dial-up dreams. Imagine the snare drum's ghost-crack echoing off Uluru's red flanks , not as a conquest but as a lover's bruise, blooming violet under star-pricked skin. Here, rebellion wasn't a fist raised in Canberra's marbled halls but a glitch in the grid . A Laughing Clowns howl warping the airwaves, sonic annotation—jagged guitar riffs splintering into didgeridoo drones , fading to the hiss of cooling circuits. The wire remembers: a young voice, pixels pulsing with the fury of forgotten tapes, cassette ribbons unravelling like the Murray-Darling 's parched secrets, whispering of bans that bind not bodies but bytes, burqas woven into neural lace, veils pleading for the light they obscure.

The Twelve Loops of Goodbye The fluid rises. The cryo-hiss is deafening. And then... the program starts. Twelve times. The system cycles, and twelve times I see you. It starts the same. The image freezes in the dark. It’s you, BK. Or... It’s your idea. You’re wearing the rig. The goggles are locked on me. I try to say your name, but my mouth is filled with ice. I love you. God, I love you. But you don’t blink. The Neural Glitch . Something is wrong. The memory corrupts. I see " corrupted code " trying to stabilise across your face. Your eyes... behind the lenses... they twitch. Microscopically. Are you hurting? Or is that my pain rippling through the connection? A low-frequency pulse warps your skin. You look like a stranger. You look like the machine. The Shuddering Breath . This is the one that breaks me. Total stillness. Then... a faint mist forms at your mouth. Condensation beads on the goggles. I scream at you to breathe! Just breathe! But it’s slow. Irregular. It’s a ...
The Ayes Have It (But She Don't) Everybody knows the bill is dead Everybody knows the Senate’s red Everybody knows the deal is done The major parties had their fun The crossbench bargains were all just show The whips have cracked, the whistle’s blowed That’s how it goes And Hanson always votes no. Everybody knows the bells are ringing Everybody knows the mud they’re slinging Everybody knows the clerk can’t count With all the grievances they mount Everybody knows that the motion’s lost Everybody knows what the lobby cost The Ayes go high, the chamber’s low And Hanson always votes no. And everybody knows that it’s now or never Everybody knows that it’s gonna take forever Everybody knows that the act is rotten Old amendments best forgotten Everybody knows the tellers move With nothing left for them to prove The red room puts on quite a show But Hanson always votes no. Everybody knows the maiden speech The lessons that she tried to teach About the fish and about the chips And the tig...
